Keys

Car keys lost are common and can be a pain to deal with, but getting an alternative key from the dealer can be expensive. UK Auto Locksmiths will offer an alternative that is less expensive and have the latest equipment and software to aid. All you need is a VIN number and proof of ownership in order for them to perform the task. The other information they need is the type of key you require. They can supply remotes, flip keys and even Fobs. They will also be capable of helping you with the programming of any new keys.

Remotes

Most Seat drivers keep a spare remote in the house or garage, but when they lose it getting replacement keys from a dealer is expensive and time consuming. This is because most dealers will programme the key using the car's computer which will need to be reset. However, many people buy second-hand keys off the internet that are not programmed to their car. This can be a much cheaper alternative to going to the dealer. But, these key will not start the car because they will not have a transponder chip inside them. You can see the chip (yellow) in this picture below, it is a Dual Inline Package or DIP 18 pin chip. There are also a diode, transistor and resonator, all these parts make up the key's circuit.

Immobilisers

The number of car thefts began to decrease when car immobilisers began to become popular in the latter part of the 1990s. However, thieves are always on the lookout for ways to evade security systems. They were able get through the early immobiliser systems using a scanner tool to locate the code on the transponder chip, and then copying it to the blank key, but since then, technology has improved and they've been forced to think of new tricks.

Luckily, the majority of immobilisers that we supply and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This not-for-profit organisation is the grading and approval system for aftermarket alarms and security devices, including car immobilisers.

If the Thatcham approved immobiliser is activated, it will send a coded signal the Engine Management System of the vehicle, preventing the engine from starting unless the correct key is available. If the car is "hot-wired" after entry it will stop the engine within 30 seconds and make it impossible for it to start.

Like any computer, the immobiliser may be prone to problems. Sometimes, the battery or key fob will need to be replaced. The best thing to do is to always seek out an expert to do the task as it will ensure that everything is fitted properly and functions.

Transponders

Transponders transmit an identification signal back when it is probed. It identifies the aircraft to air traffic control when it is on an active radar system and helps maintain the distance between aircrafts. The information the transponder transmits to the air traffic control system varies depending on the kind of system.

Transponders are also present on spacecrafts and satellites, allowing them to communicate with Earth systems such as cell phone networks or other communication networks. These devices receive incoming signals at a variety of frequencies, and then retransmit them on an additional frequency, just like repeaters operate in terrestrial cell phone networks.

Sophisticated passive transponders are often located on aircrafts. They are used to monitor the status of flight and provide navigation information such as the aircraft's position and speed, altitude, and the route. Transponders transmit information that air traffic controllers utilize to control flight paths and also ensure security.

Many personal keys contain a transponder chip in addition to aircraft transponders. These chips do not require batteries and are completely passive. This allows the ECU to read the transponder's signal when it is placed in the ignition lock.

The flight deck of most airplanes contains a switch that pilots can press to switch their transponders on or off. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk code, which helps it stand out on a busy air traffic control screens.
